12 inches in 12 Months 2012!

[Aggie]

i see CRAZY prices on amazon all the time. i just look at the screen like "these people arent serious, right?"

some of these "sellers" on amazon are out of their minds. i really hope no one's buying from them.

Maybe they'll expire and no one will buy them, lol.

 

[HeChangedMyName]

hmmmm, i'll have to go back and see what my length was when i signed on for the challenge.

 

[HauteHippie]

I think I did this challenge wrong. I lost about 12 inches in less than 12 months. No update for me. Maybe next year...

 

[Lovingmywaves12]

Is there going to be a 2013 version of this challenge for those that want to do so??

What happened?

 

[HauteHippie]

What happened?

I got bored/emotional and colored my hair. I also think that I received a bad relaxer (overlap). After the relaxer, my hair really fell out. Everywhere. From the root.

Unfortunately, I'm not the only one. I went to Juanita's spot, Dominican Essence, in Brooklyn, NY and someone other than Juanita did my hair. Someone else on the forum had a similar experience there this year.

I am so sorry. That is terrible. Your hair will grow back even better and stronger.

Thank you! I'm optimistic.

 

[Inspiired]

Thank you! I'm optimistic.

Yes, your hair definitely will grow back. At the start of this journey, I had no hair. I suggest Castor Oil

$219.88? This can't be real life

I don't know where you ladies are located but my local chain salon (Fantastic Sams & Supercuts) sell a 30 ct of Nioxin vitamins for $20.99. I'm in Long Beach, CA. I bought 3 bottles.

[dachsies_rule!]

It took half of the year, but I finally got a regimen down . I also figured out I was vitamin deficient which is why my growth had slowed...i retained 5 inches this year. I'm hoping to do much better next year.

One year ago





Today

 

[ladieluv2010]

[Kb3auty]

@nemi95 OMG...they go for $200+ on amazon.
How can I get a hold of nioxin vitamins? They are sold out everywhere

 

[PerfectlyFlawed]

Why isnt there a 12 inches in 12 months of 2013 challenge??

HauteHippie I am so sorry to hear about your hair.. Will you go natural at this point??

 

[HauteHippie]

I feel pretty confident that it will continue growing back, so it's okay.

I'm going back to natural. I was kind of sad after being texlaxed. Loved it at first! Then, not as much. So, now I'm going back to being natural, though I will be a hot head. ;-)

 

[Channy31]

Is there a 2013 version of this thread?

 

[Inspiired]

Results will be coming soon and maybe even a 2013 challenge

I just looked online for locations that I was willing to drive to and started calling around. I refused to pay the amazon price. HTH.

 

[nemi95]

nemi95 do they still have nioxin for that price? I would really love to get a hold of a few bottles!!

Just start calling around. Call the chain generic salons, they tend to carry them. Also I found them at Ulta on clearance for a 90 ct for under $15! This was probably a one time thing, bit you can always call and ask. I'm out so I'll start looking this weekend. The last salon I bought them from is out. I'll buy some extra and sell them if I can first get enough for myself. I'll sell them for the price I paid plus shipping. If I can't find them I heard Joico has something similar. I received fantastic results with Nioxin.

 

[Inspiired]

I can't believe my goal was hip/tailbone and look!

I never in my life thought I could ever get to this length..

 

[Mane Event]

Please a 2013 challenge!!!! I'm so inspired by your growth!!!!

 

[charmtreese]
